Chapter 260: The Textile Industry

There was a lot of trouble at home, Ding Li and Ding Dafu didn't seem to see it, what should they do. Ding Sanfu went to Ding Youshou's house, and Ding Youcai wandered outside until dark before going back.

Through the eldest brother's marriage, Ding Erfu also saw that his father and mother were unreliable, and there was ridicule from the villagers. If he wants to change the status quo, he has to be more productive.

He knew that Ding Zhao was going to the capital, and the second family would go to the capital to enjoy happiness in the future.

I also heard that Ding Shan will go to Beijing with Ding Zhao to look for business opportunities, hoping to bring the Sanfang family out in the future.

Only have their own family, don't think about how to make money and live a good life, they are either in a daze, or they are tossing.

Annoying.

He wants to get out of Linshui County, and wants to follow the second room to the future like the third grandfather.

He didn't want his daughter-in-law to be like his mother and sister-in-law in the future.

But he can't read, he can't do business, he can only fight, and he is best suited to be a dart master. The second uncle is an official and begs him to help introduce a dart game in the capital.

Ding Zhao was packing up his things at home, and he was going to the capital in three days.

He listened to Ding Erfu's request and said with a smile, "You have another way, such as being a soldier. There are people above the second uncle, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be promoted."

Low-key, he rarely brags.

Ding Zhao had heard his daughter say that Ding Erfu was a big and useless dart master, and he should enter the military camp to run for the future, which was also a help for his eldest son.

The eldest son sent a letter that he had been transferred to the southern camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the upper peaks were Qin Hai and Zhu Zhan.

Originally, I wanted to wait for Ding Erfu to be a year older, but he came here today and just said it.

Ding Erfu is happy. It is said that there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, the second room knows the chief soldier and the general in the army, and the second uncle is familiar with the chief officer of the weapon, and he will definitely have a future if he works hard.

Moreover, I heard that the government is going to recruit people to serve in the conscription and go to Shanhaiguan to build the Great Wall, and this time it will take a year to serve. If you become a soldier, your family will be exempt from conscription.

He immediately got up and kowtowed to Ding Zhao, "Second Uncle Xie shows the way, and the little nephew is willing to be a soldier."

I have to go to Guo Shoubei for this matter, and Guo Shoubei will send him to Zhu Qian's men, and Zhu Qian will find a way to get Ding Lichun there.

He knows Ding Pandi, and some things are easier to do.

He participated in that incident, although it was dangerous, but when the Dong family overturned the case, he could also earn some credit.

Ding Erfu went home and told Ding Li and his parents about it, but they were unwilling.

Being a soldier can't make money, and you waste a few years of good time in vain. If the dart master does a good job, he can earn twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.

Looking at his uninformed grandfather and parents, Ding Erfu patiently explained the reason.

Hearing that Ding Zhao guaranteed that Erfu could become an official in the military camp and exempt his family from forced labor, they agreed.

Ding Shan, Xie Shi, and Ding Zhen were busy packing up things for Ding Shan at home.

I heard that the second room will open a branch of Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion in the capital in the future, and Ding Shan also wants to open a shop in the capital. Or like Linshui County, pick up the leakage of Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion, and sell medium and high-end goods in Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion, they sell low-end goods, and change the original simple sale of cloth to sell cloth and embroidery.

Now that the family has more than 1,000 taels of silver, and if you borrow a few hundred taels from the second room, you can still rent a shop in the capital and open a shop.

In the evening, Ding Shan was invited by the second room to drink.

Lilac said, "Third grandfather, you can't make much money by opening that kind of shop, at most a few hundred taels a year."

Ding Shan said with a smile, "I earned a few hundred taels of silver every year, I didn't dare to think of it before." Then he asked, "What advice does Xiang Xiang have?"

Ding Xiang, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao have already discussed, since the Qin family wants to marry Ding Shan, and the Zhu family is also happy to see it, they will support the Ding Shan family as soon as possible.

They had always wanted to support Ding Shan to make their business bigger, but they were not as anxious as they are now.

Ding Zhuang offered to give him six or seven thousand taels of silver directly and let him open a bigger shop.

Ding Zhao and Ding Xiang disagreed, so their family backgrounds were exposed. Moreover, if relatives give money so lavishly, the relationship will not be easy to get along with in the future.

Lilac offers to let him do that.

It was she who thought a few years ago

Good business.

I thought about it for Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop before. At that time, I didn't expect my family to become a nouveau riche in a few years, and I just wanted to do it on a small scale first, and then slowly develop and grow.

At that time, I also wanted to take the Ding Shan family and the Zhang family to do it together, but they went their separate ways.

Lilac has always remembered Grandpa Zhang's love. My family got so many good things by Feifei, and they were at Grandpa Zhang's house twice. Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Dabao are honest, but Zhang Xiaobao, who is a foot merchant, has grown up.

Zhang Xiaobao went out again, and he would tell him about it when he came back.

The business that Lilac wants to do is the textile industry.

Not weaving, but spinning.

Spun the right thread, hook the sweater first, knit the sweater later. The wisdom of the ancients is endless, and it would be even better to make a woven sweater.

Now that they have money, let them make cotton spinning first, and wool spinning by themselves in the future.

Cotton spinning is easy to do, and there are many places to grow cotton in Dali. But the cotton thread is not so deformed, and it is not so gentle.

There are not many sheep in Dali, and only a small number of wool products can be made. In addition, the wool products imported from the Western Regions, the Northern Yuan Dynasty and other countries are much more expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford them.

Lilac got up and took out a pair of blue cotton gloves, a relatively simple style, one thumb and four of them.

Still shocked Ding Shan.

Glove!

He took it and put it on, ironing it and warming it.

He laughed, "How did this come about?"

Lilac said, "It's woven with coarse cotton thread, and the weaving method was thought up by me, my mother, and Aunt Yang."

It is indeed the "common" idea of Lilac and Zhang's and Yang Hu's families.

Lilac drew a hook pattern and asked Ding Zhuang to make two copper crochet needles, saying that she saw it in the book.

When I took it home and fiddled with it, I "fiddled" with a long stick.

The novelty of the Zhang family and Yang Hu's family is amazing. Under the temptation of the cloves, the long strip becomes a small square, and the small square becomes a small tube.

Then let Zhang Yu spin a ball of thicker cotton threads.

The three of them again engaged in lively discussion and practice, knitting a small hat and then a glove.

Lilac said happily, "Ah, my mother is so smart, Aunt Yang is really capable, and if I study and study it, I will definitely be able to knit clothes, pants and socks, and wear them in them to iron and keep warm."

Several of them are still exploring how to knit clothes and pants, and Ding Zhao and the others are about to go to the capital.

Lilac told Ding Shan about the prospects of this kind of cotton thread and textiles.

Let Ding Shan get a cotton thread workshop first, and then buy a few women to hook the finished products, hats, gloves, clothes and pants, and decorations. Then open a weaving and embroidery workshop or cloth village to sell this new type of textile at the same time.

The first textiles had to be kept secret and sold at a high price. But this is a simple, labor-intensive industry, and it cannot be kept secret. When the hook method spreads, there will be fewer people who buy the finished product, but there will be more people who buy this kind of cotton thread, and they will still make money......
